And it only took me a week and a half. Not bad considering I always seem to get behind with things; 10 days isn't half bad for me. Without further delay, here are the final autographs that I got in Spring Training.
Palmer was at both of the
O's games that I went to. He was there to throw out the first pitch on Tuesday and looked like he just wanted to shoot the breeze on Monday. Luckily for me, he was in a signing mood too and signed this Crown card and also a ball for me. He included "
HOF 90" on the ball without even being prompted.
Pena was the only Ray who signed for me, but since I was camped on the Orioles side of the field, I would say that I got lucky even getting him. Anytime you happen to be in the right place at the right time to get the reigning AL HR
champ's autograph seems like a good place to be at.
Luke kept telling people at the game that he would sign as he was leaving the parking lot. I figured that we had all heard that one before so wasn't expecting much. But as Luke was leaving the lot, he pulled over and graciously signed and talked to everyone who was outside the lot. Granted there weren't more than 10 of us at that point but he was with his family and considering the number of players that drove by without acknowledging our existence, it was a nice change. Luke has always seemed like a very cool and down to earth person. I really hope he can stay hot at the plate for a full season this year.
LUUUUUKKKEEE.
If you have been reading the blog for a while, you probably already know this, but I like
sidewinding pitchers. Which makes
Cla a pretty obvious choice to be my favorite reliever. You can't really see his pitching motion on the card, which I don't like, but it's a great card for an autograph and
Cla did a nice job signing this, even adding his number.
This is probably the most illegible Guthrie autograph that I have, but he still seems to be a good signer. Now if he started having some success on the mound this spring...that would be nice.
Chris signed another card for me. This orange jersey beauty will go with my orange jersey mini collection.
Michael has had a "lost" spring training with various minor injuries and ailments robbing him of playing time and at-bats. I got his autograph when he was leaving the parking lot and really like the way this card looks now that it's signed.

I'm jealous! Let me know if that Palmer is for trade, I still need him for my Orioles Crown set. I'd try to come up with something you need that would be equal to the Palmer. Drop me an email if it's available.
Luke is the man, every time I'm at an O's game I usually see him giving out some autos to fans along the first base side. Mighty Luuuuke!
Nice job at ST!
